items only save in case of a changed value

[newan]

Hello,

would it be possible to save the items only in case of a changed value?
I have a whole lot of cases in which the value is 1 (by about 90%) which uses a lot of diskspace/database.
I would only need to save if the values change from 1 to 0 or 0 to 1.

Not yet. You can set the item history to 0 days. Triggers would still work but you'll lose the possibility to see the current value in the Zabbix frontend - as the Zabbix server only knows of the item's values then.

Using a time series database as history storage backend may help here too. But that's not developed / made public yet.
See ZBXNEXT-714

Possibly search the support system for a corresponding feature request. If you don't find any maybe consider to create one.
